Home of the University of South Carolina, the USRA returns to the site of one of it?s signature events for the Third Annual Columbia Half- Marathon with a new date of December 15,2012. It?s unique course will feature a variety of rolling hills and flat city streets and will feature the state capital?s unbridled encompassment of university campuses (featuring Benedict University and Allen College as well as the aforementioned University of South Carolina) as well as it`s beautiful landscape of different trees and other kinds of forestry. Surely its never too early to sign up for the Third Annual Columbia Half-Marathon on December 15, 2012.
